Otto, If I were in your shoes, and wanted to get the CD rom bundle, I would get it from the states, and even if you have to pay taxes and duties, you will save money from what the cost will be in Europe. As for warranty, if you buy it from a NeXT dealer in the USA, it must be serviceable by any NeXT dealer in the world. NeXT once told me otherwise, which is the only reason I bought my machin ein Europe, but a little legal digging has shown this to be false. All: The difference in price between Europe and the USA is a horrible fact of life. For about double the price in Europe, you get the convenience of having a "nearby" dealer to handle your queries.....if you're not fussed about this as an issue, then do as I do, and buy direct. I just came back from Honeymoon in the USA and Canada and am very disheartened by the difference in prices between NeXT US and NeXT Europe/UK. I'm sure that NeXT is doing everything they can to stay competitive with other European companies, but that isn't enough for a computer that is advertsied as a world wide solution. Scott My opinions alone.
